Celebrating 30 Years and Beyond of Friends of the Parks
Get ready for a weekend packed with fun and purpose for the Friends of South Cumberland State Parks, with a fundraiser and the annual meeting and picnic.
The Boots, Baubles and Bubbly Fundraiser will be 5–7 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 21. Join us for an unforgettable evening of celebration and philanthropy, at the Clifftops home of Susan Thomas. As we mark our 30th anniversary, we invite you to join us in raising a glass to the beauty and preservation of our beloved parks.
Indulge in delicious hors d’oeuvres, sip on handcrafted cocktails and mocktails, and enjoy live music as we celebrate our accomplishments and look ahead to an exciting future. Don’t forget to dress to impress for our “Outdoor Couture” theme! The most creative combination of outdoor attire and elegance will win a special prize (think Patagonia and pearls, boots and blazers, Chacos and Chanel)!
Your support is essential to our continued success in protecting the plateau for generations to come. Thanks to generous sponsors, all proceeds from this event will directly benefit Friends of South Cumberland State Parks. Tickets are $125 per person (100 percent tax-deductible).

We’re excited to invite you to our Friends of the Parks annual meeting and picnic on Sunday, Sept. 22, at the Ayres Center at St. Mary’s Sewanee. Join us and learn about the future of our parks.
Help us kick off our 31st year of protecting the plateau by joining us for our annual meeting where you’ll hear exciting updates. Learn about the progress of the new visitor center and campground at Savage Gulf, the development at Woodland Preserve, and the expansion of the Mountain Goat Trail. We’ll also discuss the possibility of adding a third park to our system!
